It is the responsibility of athletes and coaches to read and understand the material in this handbook. If you are not clear on a certain policy, please contact the High Performance Director for further explanation (see Contact Persons on page 3). Limitations: Certain policies may be changed from time to time. A policy change is considered effective upon its date of publication by Judo Canada, unless otherwise noted in the change notice. A change is deemed to be published on the date that the notice of change is emailed to the provincial associations. Policy changes will also be posted on Judo Canada’s website and we encourage you to visit it regularly. Feedback: If you have specific recommendations with respect to policies contained in this manual, please direct them in writing to High Performance Director. Written feedback is the only way to ensure full circulation of your ideas. Athletes covered by the Handbook: Policies specified in this Handbook apply to all judokas identified as members of the National Team and other judokas selected by Judo Canada, as well as to all Canadian athletes who participate in events identified in this publication. The High Performance Committee of Judo Canada essentially deals with and is responsible for carded athletes, junior (U21) world team members, cadet (U18) world team members, senior world team members and Olympic and Paralympic team members. International Competition Access: Judo Canada does not have the resources to send athletes to all the international events Canada may be invited to. A list of events that are "open" to the provinces will be published on Judo Canada’s website, along with the selection criteria or standards and application deadlines. It is the responsibility of provincial associations to apply for selection to such events on behalf of its provincial athletes by the indicated deadlines. Athletes’ Contact Information: To ensure that they receive National Team correspondence, athletes are responsible to provide Judo Canada with their e-mail address and phone numbers. Keep Judo Canada’s National Office updated on any changes to your contact information. 4 Policy 1 Authority of the High Performance Committee The High Performance Committee has for mission to: • Provide advice and recommendations to the High Performance Director in matters pertaining to Judo Canada’s High Performance system and programs. • Ensure that High Performance programs are implemented according to policies. The High Performance Committee is the authoritative body for the drafting and interpretation of policies in this handbook and may assign duties and responsibility, as needed, to ensure the day to day work of the Committee is implemented. National team issues that are not covered by this handbook may arise from time to time. In such case, the High Performance Committee will be the authoritative body that shall bring recommendations forward to the Board of Judo Canada before a final decision is made. From time to time, the HP Committee may make exceptions to certain policies if they judge that it is required for the good of the organization. Such exceptions must not exhibit prejudice toward any athlete. Policy 2 Definition of a ‘’Win’’ The National Team Handbook definition of a win for team selection, international rankings, and carding, is as follows: ‘’A win is an advancement in the draw sheet, only as a result of the bout being initiated (both competitors must make contact under fighting conditions).’’ This means, for example, that “fusen-gachi" or a "bye" would not be considered as a win. 5 Policy 3 Classification of International Events To ensure that international competitions provide a beneficial and valuable developmental opportunity, all athletes must demonstrate their readiness to compete at each international level by meeting minimum performance standards (see policy 8). The grid below establishes tournament categories with the points and standard given by each performance in each category. International Tournaments Ranking Grid Silver/ 3 or 4 wins 2 wins Level Tournament Gold 5th 7th bronze not ranked not ranked 300 240 180 120 90 60 World Championships & Olympic A Games A A A A B C 240 180 120 90 60 40 B IJF Masters & Grand Slams A A A B C D 180 120 90 60 40 30 C IJF Grand Prix A A B C D E Continental Open: Sofia, Lisbon, 120 90 60 40 30 20 D Oberwart, Rome, Warsaw, Prague, U21 World Championships A B C D E F Continental Open: Madrid, Bucharest, Tallinn, Minsk, Glasgow, Luxembourg, Other European Continental Open, Pan-Am 90 60 40 30 20 15 E Championships/Games, U18 World Championships, Youth Olympic B C D E F G Games, EJU Sr. Cup: Slovenia & Germany; Belgium Open (M & F); FISU Games Continental Open: Taipei, Australia, Mauritius, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, San Salvador, Chili, Peru, 60 40 30 20 15 F Dominican Republic, Hong Kong 10 other EJU Sr. Cups, Francophone C D E F G Games, Commonwealth Games, Pan-Am Festival EJU Jr. Cups, Bremen/Thüringen Jr., 40 30 20 15 G Commonwealth Championships Sr, 10 Swiss Open; Senior PJC PanAm Cup D E F G EJU U18 Cups, Bremen/Thüringen 30 20 15 H U18, Panam U21, Aix-En-Provence 10 U21 E F G 1.

The High Performance Committee may add or reclassify a tournament during the year by giving six (6) weeks’ notice prior to the event. 4. Only the international tournaments listed in Policy 3 are considered for standards and points. 5. For G & H tournaments the participation of provincial coaches is mandatory for any province sending five (5) or more athletes. 6 Policy 4 Classification of Domestic Events Domestic Tournaments Ranking Grid Level Tournaments 2019-2020 Gold Silver Bronze Top 6 Senior Elite Nationals 50 35 25 15 1 Senior Canada Cup D E F G 35 25 15 10 2 Senior Open Nationals E F G H Senior Quebec Open 25 15 10 7 Senior Ontario Open 3 Junior Canada Cup E F G H U21 Open Nationals 15 10 7 Senior Edmonton International 4 Senior Pacific International F G H Senior Saskatchewan Open Senior Eastern Canadian Championships 10 7 U21 Quebec Open 5 U21 Ontario Open G H Cadet Canada Cup 7 6 U18 Elite Nationals H Rules applied for all domestic events: 1. An athlete must have at least 2 wins to receive points and standard; 2. Weight classes with 3 to 7 contestants give 75% of points indicated in the tables above, and one standard below; 3. For weight classes with fewer than 3 contestants no points or standards will be given; 4. Points and standards earned in domestic events are valid only for one year; Policy 5 Determination of National Team Standards General: 1. National Team standards will be awarded according to performance, as indicated in the tournament ranking grids in Policies 3 and 4. 2. Standards determine the eligibility of athletes to international tournament but are not used for selections unless specified otherwise in event specific selection policies. 3. When achieved in an international tournament, a standard is valid for a period of 24 months from the date it was achieved (i.e., not by accumulation – see point 6 below). 4. When achieved in a Domestic tournament, a standard is valid for a period of 12 months from the date it was achieved. 7 Specific Cases: 5. A top 8 ranking in an international tournament (Policy 3) with two wins warrants one standard below the one indicated in the grid.

    Twentieth Century Travels: Tales of a Canadian Judoka Michelle Marrian Anna Rogers B.A., University of British Columbia, 2000 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Anthropology O Michelle Marrian Anna Rogers, 2005 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permissions of the author ABSTRACT Supervisor: Dr. Andrea Walsh In 1960, Doug Rogers, my father, travelled to Japan to study the martial art of judo. In Japan, Rogers was able to hone his abilities in judo, which enabled him to succeed in competition at both the national and international level. Using photographs belonging to Rogers that were taken during the time he went to Japan (1960-1965), I was able to enter into a series of conversations with him about his reasons for travelling to Japan and his experiences during his stay there. Rogers' early life provides an opportunity to not only explore the unique experiences of an important individual in Canadian and Japanese sports history, but a chance to investigate specific examples of how large-scale, 'global' processes (the circulation of media, culture 'flows', and historical processes and events) can influence at the level of the individual. I examine how Rogers' original decision to travel to 'traditional' and 'exotic' Japan, and his actual stay in Japan, were contingent upon a revised cultural heritage that Japan was trying to project after the Second World War, which displayed Japan as a peaceful, proper, ethnically homogenous, and aesthetically-oriented nation.

Judo Canada LTADM Steering Committee Committee Members: Dr. Ron Wright (Lead), Charles Cardinal, Louis Jani, Dr. James Kendrick, Adrien Landry, Keith Morgan, Andrzej Sadej, Patrick Vesin © Judo Canada, 2006 1 Introduction A long-term development model can provide guidance for a significant period of time, from early childhood to one's golden years. The Judo Canada Long-Term Athlete Development Model (LTADM) is a comprehensive document designed to provide the Canadian Judo community with a blueprint to facilitate options for development and life-long participation in the sport of judo. This document is targeted to the judokas themselves, parents of children in the sport, judo coaches, and other key stakeholders including administrators, regulatory bodies and volunteers. This version of the LTADM is a revision of our previous blueprint combined with the LTAD Generic Model developed by Sport Canada. The Government of Canada, intent on continually improving Olympic results, decided to provide tools to help generate superior results. The lack of systematic development of young Canadian athletes was identified as a major factor in our athletes' inability to compete against the best in the world.

  • Canadian Broadcast Standards Council Quebec Regional Panel
    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL QUEBEC REGIONAL PANEL TQS re Le Grand Journal (Michel Villeneuve Commentary) (CBSC Decision 03/04-1949) Decided February 10, 2005 G. Bachand (Chair), T. Rajan (Vice-Chair), B. Kemeny, R. Cohen (ad hoc), G. Moisan, M.-A. Murat THE FACTS On July 20, 2004, during its broadcast (at 10:30 pm) of the news program Le Grand Journal, Télévision Quatre Saisons (TQS) sports commentator Michel Villeneuve discussed recent reaction to the choice of Quebec judo athlete Nicholas Gill as Canada’s flag-bearer at the upcoming Olympic Games in Athens. At that time, Villeneuve referred to the words of Toronto Sun columnist Steve Simmons, who had objected to the choice of Mr. Gill, arguing that the athlete’s preference for Quebec sovereignty in the 1995 Quebec referendum rendered him unqualified to carry the Canadian flag. Villeneuve commented that, “[translation] for Simmons, a redneck in the same league as Don Cherry, a separatist doesn’t have the right to carry the Canadian flag.” That same evening, a TQS viewer sent an e-mail to the CRTC, which forwarded it to the CBSC in due course. In his e-mail, the viewer expressed the following concern with the evening’s Grand Journal broadcast (the full text of the complaint and all other correspondence, in the original French, appears in the Appendix): [Translation] The sports commentator made racist and biased comments while discussing, among other things, a Toronto Sun journalist, calling the latter a “redneck” and ending his comments with the following words (and I quote): “that’s a kick in the teeth, isn’t it? Considering the precedent that you established with radio station CHOI-FM, I ask that you order that this station simply be shut down.

  • 2017-2024 Strategic Plan
    2017-2024 Strategic Plan WWW.JUDOCANADA.ORG WWW.JUDONATIONALS.ORG JUDO CANA A. TV FOREWORD For the current strategic plan, Judo Canada has opted for a long-term vision divided into two timeframes: first to 2020, and further ahead into 2024. This far-off target has been chosen to provide our national federation with a global vision and direction to more deliberately plan, prepare for and accomplish its goals. This plan was written following a multi-step process including analysis of the 2013-2017 plan, best practices across national sport federations, the Sport Canada report and the review of many external reports over the las few years. Naturally this could not have been accomplished without effective workshops and consultation with key personnel from our organisation and the Canadian judo landscape. Following data collection, a first draft of the plan was submitted to the board of directors for review last March. A Working Group subsequently reviewed the plan and the final version was shared with the BoD at the Annual General Meeting in June and finally approved by the BoD in July. This plan aims to create tangible gains in terms of podium finishes, membership increase and financial health. Looking to 2024 Canada is regarded as an overachieving judo nation, nurturing the growth of Judo and its contribution to Canadian society, and celebrating its international competitive success. Mission Support Canadian judokas’ preparation to win medals at World Championships and Olympic / Paralympic Games. Guide and engage in initiatives to increase judo participation in Canada. Values - Prioritize Health and Safety - Embody the Values of Fair Play and Drug-free Sport - Seek Excellence - Positive Leadership and Respect for Others - Be Transparent in Policy-Based Decision Making Judo is a sport based on fundamental values to which all judokas must subscribe.

  • Historic Japanese Canadian District Paueru-Gai Map Guide
    HISTORIC JAPANESE CANADIAN DISTRICT PAUERU-GAI MAP GUIDE 1 VANCOUVER’S HISTORIC JAPANESE CANADIAN DISTRICT Katelyn Yuen, Satsuki-kai odori, PSF. 2017 Satsuki-kai odori, PSF. Katelyn Yuen, Powell Street Festival, 2017 The Powell Street area has a unique historical tie with the Nikkei (people of Japanese descent), who commonly referred to the district as Paueru-gai, literally translated as Powell Street. Though this has always been a culturally diverse neighbourhood, Japanese Canadians made up the majority ethnic group from the 1890s until 1942, when the Canadian government forcibly removed the entire community. CVA 300 -136 CVA Parade on Powell Street, 1937. HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE This map guide focuses on some of the key heritage buildings and sites related to Japanese Canadian history that still exist around Powell Street. We have numbered stops as a suggested route to explore the area but you do not need to follow the numbers to enjoy the sites. A full walking tour will take about 1-2 hours. It is a short walk from Gastown, Chinatown and Strathcona. 2 THE EARLY YEARS A significant Japanese Canadian community established in this area starting in the 1890s. Access to jobs at nearby Hastings Mill was a key factor, as well as the presence of labour brokers who helped individuals find jobs on the railroads or in remote lumber industries. In spite of immigration restrictions placed on Japanese men in 1908, the population grew when men were able to bring family and sponsor workers, including many ‘picture brides’—women chosen by an extension of the arranged marriages in Japan.
